INTRODUCTION

SLR Consulting Limited (SLR) has been instructed by Granite Products (C.I.) Limited (Granite Products) to prepare a Waste Management Licence application for La Gigoulande Quarry, Jersey to authorise the operation of an inert waste recycling facility.

The Working Plan provides a detailed overview of the proposed operations on site, the infrastructure and wastes to be accepted, risks and safety measures, timescales and management procedures put in place to ensure that the operations do not negatively impact the surrounding environment or human health.

This document has been completed in association with the States of Jersey guidance ‘Guidance Notes for Applying for a Waste Management Licence’ May 2017 and ‘Guidance Notes on the New Waste Management Licensing System’ January 2007.

The 2007 guidance lays out what is required of a Working Plan and states that it should correspond where possible to the corresponding Licence Conditions. This document follows the structure suggested in Appendix 4 of the 2007 guidance and includes all suggested topics where relevant.

1.1 Proposed Activities

The proposal is for the establishment of an inert waste recycling facility. The recycling facility will comprise mobile plant including crushers and screens together with storage areas for feedstocks and processed materials. Granite Products’ intention is to recycle as much of the material received at the site as possible to produce soils, soil substitutes and secondary aggregates with only residual materials that cannot be recycled sent to landfill.

Stockpiles of imported waste, recycled products and residual materials will be created in the recycling area with a maximum height of 4m.

A maximum of 200,000 tonnes per annum of inert waste materials will be imported to the site for processing. There is a planning obligation to recycle 60% of this material, leaving an estimated maximum of 80,000 tonnes per annum of inert waste to be sent for disposal.

1.2 Application Area

The area that will be occupied by the proposed waste management activities (hereinafter referred to as ‘the site’) is situated at La Gigoulande Quarry in St Peter’s Valley, Jersey. La Gigoulande Quarry is an operational hard rock quarry in St Peter’s Valley which is surrounded by a mosaic of woodland, residential and agricultural land. The application area is illustrated in Drawing 003. Authorised waste management activities will only be undertaken within the application area. The application area comprises an area for the inert waste recycling facility, the proposed access route from the main road and the site reception area comprising weighbridges and weighbridge office.

SITE SETTING

2.1 Site Setting and Receptors

2.1.1 Site Setting

La Gigoulande Quarry is located 370m north of the town of L’Aleval, 495m south of Les Potirons, 500m west of La Pierre des Baissières and 780m east of Elysée in St. Mary, Jersey. The site is centred on 70000mN, 37400mE Jersey Transverse Mercator (JTM).


SLR Ref No:416.07293.00002

2.1.3 Geology, Hydrology and Hydrogeology

Geology

British Geological Survey maps identify the geology in the vicinity of the site to comprise Quaternary loess overlying Ordovician coarse-grained granite. The loess and some depth of granite has been extracted during quarry operations on the site, assuch, the recycling facility will be sited upon the granite.

Hydrology

The site is located within the catchment area of the La Gigoulande Mill Stream, approximately 10m to the south of the site access and proposed licence boundary at its closest. The stream runs from north east to south west in relation to the site boundary before flowing into St Peter’s Valley approximately 60m west of the quarry in a southerly direction. Approximately 150m south west of the site, the stream flows into La Hague Reservoir. Water flows through the dam at the south of the reservoir and continues southwards. A tributary of La Gigoulande Mill Stream known as St Mary’s Valley Stream is located approximately 50m west of the site. La Gigoulande Mill Stream terminates approximately 3.5km south south east of the site when it discharges into the sea at Beaumont.

Hydrogeology

The granite upon which the site lies is water bearing. It has a low primary permeability, but fractures present within the granite cause it to have a high secondary permeability. The site and surrounding area lie in a Water Pollution Safeguard Area (WPSGA) for the protection of aquifers and watercourses.

• Feedstock;

• Sorted recycled materials (products); and

• Residual materials destined for landfill.

The storage areas will all be located within the recycling area and will be a maximum of 4m high.

Due to the inert nature of the materials proposed for storage at the site, no maximum storage period is proposed. Notwithstanding this, waste storage piles will be rotated under a ‘first in first out’ system to minimise storage times.

3.8 Financial Security

Granite Products intend to provide financial security by way of a 3-year renewable bond. A copy of the expenditure plan is provided in Section 6 of this application along with a statement on the financial security of the Brett Group of which Granite Products is a part.

SITE INFRASTRUCTURE

The Site Layout is illustrated in Drawing 003.


SLR Ref No:416.07293.00002

June 2020

Page 9

4.1 Site Access

The site is currently accessed directly from La Rue de la Vallée B26 which runs in a north east to south west direction adjacent to the northern boundary of the quarry. The new site access provides a single entrance and exit for waste vehicles (as well as some other product vehicles) as indicated in Drawing 003.

4.1.1 Control Procedures for Persons and Vehicles Arriving and Departing From Site

There are various control procedures in place, including a strict speed limit on site to minimise the impact in terms of noise, dust, local capacity and accidents.

Traffic will be controlled in accordance with the following QHEST procedure:

• BG3.7 Traffic Management.

A copy of the procedure will be kept in the Site Manager’s office.

Visitors must sign in at the weighbridge office and receive relevant induction. Pedestrian routes are clearly marked.

4.2 Site Security

Site security is provided by the quarry’s wider system of fencing, gates and natural barriers including rock faces, hedgerows and woodland. Access from the road is prevent by fencing, buildings and lockable gates. The licenced area itself is not fenced off from the rest of the quarry.

Gates/barriers at each of the entrances to the quarry will be closed and locked shut outside of operating hours. Where necessary for security purposes, some lighting may be switched on outside of operating hours.

Gates, barriers and fences will be inspected and maintained in accordance with the following QHEST Procedure:

• BG4.1 Monitoring and Inspection.

A copy of the procedure will be kept in the Site Manager’s office.

4.3 Wheel Cleaning

The site will be located on a granite rock base with compacted granular surface. The internal access road is part concrete but mostly compacted granular material on a rock base – this access is also shared with aggregate customer vehicles entering the adjacent mineral processing/stockpile area. The roads are cleaned using water sprays, a roadsweeper and loading shovel bucket as conditions require and to date a formal wheelwash has not been necessary. Waste customer vehicles are not considered to require any additional/different wheel cleaning to aggregate vehicles at this stage, however should this prove not to be the case, a wheel wash will be constructed on site where necessary. Prior to installation, details would be provided to the States of Jersey including the specification, maintenance, breakdown cover etc.

Procedures are in place for the management of amenity issues as follows:

• JSY43 Amenity Management – Prevention of Dust, Mud and Noise Emissions


A copy of the procedures will be kept in the Site Manager’s office.


SLR Ref No:416.07293.00002

June 2020

Page 10

4.4 Noticeboards and Signs

The site is currently well signposted to avoid confusion or accidents amongst drivers and pedestrians. The site entrance will be labelled appropriately, and noticeboards will be provided at the weighbridge area and along the route for the new site layout.

A new noticeboard will be erected at the site entrance showing the following details relevant to the licence:

• Site Name;

• Licence number;

• Daytime/emergency contact telephone numbers; and

• Name and contact number for States of Jersey Department of the Environment.

4.5 Internal Roads

The internal haul road runs between the site entrance and recycling facility as shown on Drawing 003. From the public highway to south of the weighbridges the road is concrete whilst the existing haul road down into the quarry products area, to be shared by the recycling facility customer vehicles, is constructed from compacted granular materials on granite bedrock. Both types of road surface and will be regularly maintained to ensure an even running surface for vehicles.

Staff and visitor car parking areas will be provided in the wider quarry premises, safe from operational traffic.

4.6 Fuel Tanks and Bunding

There will be no fuel tanks located within the proposed licence boundary. Any fuel used in the recycling facility will be stored outside the proposed licence boundary in the wider quarry premises as is currently the case.

4.7 Weighing and Measuring of Loads

Two weighbridges will be installed to the north west of the existing mineral processing plant site, in easy access of the new entrance and exit point. Upon arrival at the site vehicles carrying inert materials for processing will be weighed. The location of the weighbridges is clearly shown on Drawing 003.

The weighbridges will be surface mounted bridges with a CCTV camera system that enables weighbridge personnel to see into the vehicles both entering and exiting the site.

Weighbridges will be operated in compliance with the following QHEST Procedure:

• BA7 Operation of a Weighbridge

A copy of this procedure will be kept in the Weighbridge Office.

Inspection and maintenance of the weighbridges will be carried out in accordance with the following QHEST Procedures:

• BG4.1 Monitoring and Inspection

• BG4.2 Plant and Equipment Maintenance

• BG4.3 Instrument and Equipment Calibration

The provision of two weighbridges will ensure that vehicles can be weighed when one is undergoing maintenance. In the unlikely event that neither weighbridge is operational, waste will only be accepted where a suitable alternative means of measurement is available e.g. customer has used an alternative/public


SLR Ref No:416.07293.00002

June 2020

Page 11

weighbridge, customer agrees to fixed assumed tonnage per load based on vehicle type or, for small one off loads, use of the weigh cell on the wheeled loading shovel.

4.8 Secure Compound

All waste accepted onto site will be inert. Any waste that requires quarantining will be isolated and stored within an area within the Waste Management Licence boundary segregated from other feedstocks using mobile signage and cones if necessary. Thereafter, arrangements will be made for the customer to transfer of the materials off-site to a suitably licensed facility.

4.9 Hardstanding/Parking

Hardstanding at the site will comprise the granite floor of the quarry.

There will be no parking within the site boundary.

4.10 Laboratory

There is a laboratory which currently services the quarrying and operations at La Gigoulande Quarry however this does not have the necessary accreditations to undertake waste sample characterisation/validation testing. As such, any waste samples will be sent off-site for chemical analysis at a UKAS accredited laboratory. The onsite laboratory may however undertake physical testing of recycled product in line with relevant highways specifications.

Waste samples have to date been sent to Element (formerly Exova and before that Jones) Environmental Laboratory, Unit 3 Deeside Point, Zone 3, Deeside Industrial Park, Deeside CH5 2UA however Granite Products may send samples to alternative, accredited laboratories for analysis.

4.11 Drainage

4.11.1 Surface Water

Runoff from the recycling facility will be incidental and associated with any rainfall which is not absorbed or percolated into the ground. Due to the inert and low risk of the wastes to be stored at the site, it is not considered that active surface water management measures are necessary in practice.

There are no drainage ditches within the proposed licence boundary.

Any surface water run-off from the site will be picked up in the quarry’s surface water drainage system prior to its discharge into the La Gigoulande Mill Stream in accordance with the quarry’s existing deemed discharge consent (ref. DP(B)2000/11/03A, dated November 2000).

The quarry drains to a sump in the base of the western end of the quarry from where it is pumped to a settlement lagoon as shown on Drawing 003. On leaving the settlement lagoon the water passes through an interceptor prior to its discharge at the discharge point at La Gigoulande Mill Stream.

Some clean surface water isutilised for internal functions such as dust suppression.

The surface water drainage system will be regularly inspected and maintained where necessary. Regular sediment removal will take place to maximise retention time and hence silt settlement. Inspection and maintenance of the drainage system and monitoring of the final discharge is undertaken in accordance with the following QHEST Procedure:

• JSY07 Management and Monitoring of Site Water, Effluent and Discharges

• JSY36 Surface water Monitoring and Sampling

4.11.2 Haul Road Drainage

Internal haul roads will have an appropriate camber maintained to promote the drainage of surface water to the quarry drainage system. All roads will continue to be maintained to minimise the generation of dust or mud that could make its way into the drainage systems and stream.

4.12 Bays and Bins

Due to the nature of the proposed operation there are no storage bays proposed at the site. A covered skip will be provided for the storage of incidental contaminants e.g. a piece of wood or metal, that may be removed from the waste load by hand.

4.13 Site Office

A weighbridge office will be provided as part of the site reception area and will be located between the two new weighbridges . It will be fitted with suitable communication systems and will be used to record all wastes delivered to the site. The location of the weighbridge office is illustrated on Drawing 003. It will comprise a standard shipping container 2.4m x 6m in dimensions converted to a modern office environment.

Welfare and canteen facilities for staff will be provided by the existing La Gigoulande Quarry infrastructure, outside of the proposed licence boundary, as will an office for the Site Manager.

SITE PREPARATION

5.1 Surface Water Management

Runoff from the recycling facility will be incidental and associated with any rainfall which is not absorbed or percolated into the ground. Due to the inert and low risk of the wastes to be stored at the site, it is not considered that active surface water management measures are necessary in practice.

There are no drainage ditches within the proposed licence boundary.

Any surface water run-off from the site will be picked up in the quarry’s surface water drainage system as described in Section 4.11.1.

5.2 Installation of Monitoring Facilities

5.2.1 Surface Water

Due to the low risk nature of the waste types and activities undertaken on site, it is not considered necessary for the licence to contain conditions relating to the monitoring of surface water. Surface water monitoring will be undertaken in accordance with existing arrangements pursuant to the quarry’s existing deemed discharge consent. This monitoring regime is undertaken in accordance with the following QHEST procedures:


• JSY36 Surface Water Monitoring and Sampling

WASTE RECEPTION

6.1 Checking Loads

All loads will be inspected upon receipt to ensure compliance with permitted waste types.

Waste acceptance and control will be governed by the following QHEST IMS procedures, forms and guidelines:

• JSY40 Waste Acceptance Procedure for Granite Products Landfill and Recycling Facilities

o JSY40 WI01 Receipt and Assessment of Waste Enquires;

o JSY40 WI02 Receipt of Pre-approved Loads for Landfill and Recycling;

o JSY40 WI03 Receipt of Non Pre-approved Loads for Recycling;

o JSY40 WI04 Sampling and Validation Testing of Wastes; and

o JSY40 WI05 responding to Non-Compliant Test Data

All staff assigned a role, or having a responsibility, under this and associated procedures receive relevant training in accordance with the QHEST procedure BG2.2 Training, Awareness and Competence.

6.2 Recording Loads

All loads of waste received at or removed from the site will be recorded. Records kept as a minimum will include date, time, type(s) of waste, weight/volume and carrier details.

Waste records will be completed in accordance with the following QHEST procedure:

• JSY40 and associate work instructions WI01 – WI03 listed above, and

• BG2.5 Records and Records Management

6.3 Rejection of Loads

All wastes will be inspected on the vehicle upon arrival to site. Non-confirming wastes will be rejected. If non-conforming loads are identified after the vehicle has left the site, the load will be isolated and stored within an area segregated from other feedstocks using mobile signage and cones if necessary. Thereafter, arrangements will be made for the transfer of the materials off-site to a suitably licensed facility.

Waste rejection will be carried out in accordance with the following QHEST Procedure:

• JSY40 Waste Acceptance Procedure;

• JSY40 WI02 Receipt of Pre-approved Loads for Landfill and Recycling; and

• JSY40 WI03 Receipt of Non Pre-approved Loads for Recycling.

6.4 Sampling and Analysis

Waste sampling and analysis will be carried out in accordance with the following QHEST Procedure:

• JSY40 WI04 Sampling and Validation

6.5 Testing of Wastes Handling, Segregation and Storage

Wastes will be handled appropriately. Upon tipping in the waste reception area each load will be inspected and, if acceptable, will be placed in the waste feedstock areas within the proposed inert waste recycling facility prior


SLR Ref No:416.07293.00002

to treatment. The waste will be physically treated by crushing and/or screening and will be moved between the stockpiles and the recycling plant by means of mobile plant, either a wheeled loading shovel or 360⁰ excavator. Following treatment, the recovered material will be stored in designated storage areas prior to use on or sale. The residual waste which cannot be recovered will be temporarily stored at the recycling area prior to transfer to a suitably licensed landfill site following appropriate waste characterisation including testing. Initially this will be off-site pending the establishment of an inert landfill within La Gigoulande Quarry for restoration purposes.

All waste accepted at the facility will be inert in nature. Waste will be segregated according to the type of material.

Due to the inert nature of the waste, there will be no specific maximum storage period, however the site will operate a first in first out system to minimise storage periods.

SITE OPERATIONS

7.1 Plant and Machinery

The plant and machinery that will be used at the site will comprise:

• a mobile primary crusher;

• mobile secondary cone crusher;

• mobile tertiary cone crusher as required;

• two mobile screening units.

The plant will be loaded with either a 360 excavator or a wheeled loading shovel with the product moved from belt end with a wheeled loading shovel for direct sales or to the product stockpile area. Inert residue material will be transferred by internal dump truck into the landfill void space once established, and to a suitable off-site disposal facility prior to this.

Inspection and maintenance of plant and machinery will be carried out in accordance with the following QHEST procedures:



• BG4.3 Instrument and Equipment Calibration.

In the event of plant breakdown, alternative machines will be sourced as soon as practicable, either from elsewhere on the quarry site or from off-site.

7.2 Compatible Wastes

Only inert wastes that are not biodegradable will be accepted onto site. Inert waste is waste that will not undergo any significant physical, chemical or biological transformation or reaction, or give rise to environmental pollution or harm human health.

It is therefore considered that all wastes accepted onto site will be compatible.

7.3 Special Waste Management Procedures

There are no special waste management procedures required on site due to the nature of the proposed operations and inert nature of the proposed materials.


SLR Ref No:416.07293.00002

June 2020

Page 15

7.4 Residues

Imported waste will be stored on site in feedstock stockpiles prior to being processed. This process will yield two products; processed material such as soil and secondary aggregate products and residual material unsuitable for further recycling.

This residual material will be deposited into an inert landfill to be developed at La Gigoulande Quarry. In the interim, residues will be sent off-site to a suitably licensed facility for disposal.

7.5 Leakages or Spills

The use of static and mobile plant and vehicles has the potential to cause leakages or spills on site.

Preventative maintenance will be undertaken in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations to minimise the likelihood of leaks or spills.

Minor spillages will be cleaned up immediately, using sand or proprietary absorbent to clean up liquids and placed in appropriate waste containers for off site disposal.

Materials suitable for absorbing and containing minor spillages will be maintained on site.

Site staff will undertake daily monitoring for evidence of spillage and leakage.

The Site Manager will be responsible for implementing risk management measures in accordance with the following QHEST procedures:



• BG3.8 Housekeeping, Litter, Pest and Vermin Control

• BG5.1 Emergency Preparedness and Response and resulting Emergency Action Plan

7.6 Tidiness

The site will be monitored and kept tidy with storage areas maintained within capacity in accordance with the following QHEST procedure:

• BG3.8 Housekeeping, Litter, Pest and Vermin Control; and


Significant quantities of windblown material/litter are not anticipated at the site due to the inert nature of the wastes. Storage areas will be kept within capacity by controlling the volumes of material accepted at the site and balancing inputs for treatment with the sale of recycled products. Notwithstanding this, inspections will be carried out by the Site Operative on a daily basis and any necessary remedial action will be taken to ensure the site is maintained in a tidy condition.

Any loose materials will be collected and placed in designated stockpile areas or in skips for off-site disposal.

7.7 Process

The process that will be undertaken at the site can be described as follows:

• Imported materials will be directed to the recycling facility and, following tipping and inspection, placed into feedstock storage prior to treatment;


SLR Ref No:416.07293.00002

June 2020

Page 16

• Waste will be crushed and/or screened to generate a range of secondary aggregate, soils or soil forming materials;

• Products will be segregated and stored according to their material characteristics in clearly labelled stockpiles prior to use on site or sale; and

• Residual waste will be stored at the recycling area pending landfill disposal.
